The Author

Angela K. Irvin, M.A.

My name is Angela Irvin, and “Student of Life” is likely the most accurate description of my personal philosophy. To that end, my life has been defined by diverse interests and experiences.

I am a United States Air Force veteran who has traveled and lived in Asia. I subsequently earned a bachelor’s degree in health services which prepared me for a career in health administration. Eventually, my interests evolved from administration to counseling, ultimately prompting me to earn a M.A. in clinical psychology and transition to professional-level clinical work. Currently, I am a clinical psychology doctoral candidate who works with both general and forensic populations. I genuinely enjoy providing therapy and finding creative ways to help others to heal and grow.

In addition to my formal education, I have indulged my life-long interests in philosophy, culture, and world religions, and I continue to travel as time and finances permit (currently a challenge as a graduate student!).
